Synopsis

STORIES OF MY BODY is a fearless, funny and deeply personal show adapted for the screen by Morgana O’Reilly and co-director husband and real-life birth partner, BAFTA nominee Peter Salmon (After The Party). In a tiny theatre in Aotearoa, New Zealand, four teenage stagehands work tirelessly to help Morgana tell the stories that shaped her - from her own teenagehood in 1998, to working foot-fetish parties in New York City, to falling in love and later birthing her babies in a Melbourne living room. By turns vulnerable and riotously funny, she moves from lamenting her chins to marvelling at her cellular functions, using her body as the living template for every tale she tells.
